Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts.
Some New England camps have
barred visitors pending a drop in
the high polio incidence.
Dr. Roy F. Faemslcr, director
of thc Massachusetts health
department's division on communicable diseases, said polio is
"taking hold" in communities adjacent to Boston, and has spread
morc than. 50 miles to the northwest.
Suburban .Quincy reported 13
new cases, only six fewer than

Harness Enormous
Power Of H-Bomb
For Peaceful Use
"A Generation" Needed To Develop
Hydrogen Power
GENEVA (CP.)—Britain told the world Wednesday
she is working to harness the enormous power of the
hydrogen bomb for peaceful purposes., ■
Sir -lohn Coekcroft, director of
Britain's Harwell atomic energy
establishment, told a press con
ferencc at the world atoms-for
peace congress here of thc latest
step In thermonuclear research.
Coekcroft faced a barrage of
questions about Britain's work in
the hydrogen field. But though he
told reporters ''the lid has been
well taken off" al thc conference,
he was closc-mouthed about details
of Britain's H-research.
However, another British scientist, Sir George Thomson, estimated lhat a reasonable period
for successfully developing hydrogen power would be "a generation."
MAY BE 20 YEARS
Coekcroft said he doubts anyone
could forecast now when this great
power would be harnessed , although Dr, Horn! Bhabha, Indian
conference president, fixed the
time at 20 ycars hence in a speech
here Monday.

Harness Enormous

For Peaceful Use
"A Generation" Needed To Develop
Hydrogen Power
GENEVA (CP.)—Britain told the world Wednesday
she is working to harness the enormous power of the
hydrogen bomb for peaceful purposes., ■
Sir -lohn Coekcroft, director of
Britain's Harwell atomic energy
establishment, told a press con
ferencc at the world atoms-for
peace congress here of thc latest
step In thermonuclear research.
Coekcroft faced a barrage of
questions about Britain's work in
the hydrogen field. But though he
told reporters ''the lid has been
well taken off" al thc conference,
he was closc-mouthed about details
of Britain's H-research.
However, another British scientist, Sir George Thomson, estimated lhat a reasonable period
for successfully developing hydrogen power would be "a generation."
MAY BE 20 YEARS
Coekcroft said he doubts anyone
could forecast now when this great
power would be harnessed , although Dr, Horn! Bhabha, Indian
conference president, fixed the
time at 20 ycars hence in a speech
